Language is more than grammar and vocabulary—it’s a bridge to the world, a tool for expression, and a pathway to confidence. At TongXin Waldorf School, we are looking for a dedicated Cambridge IGCSE ESL Teacher who is passionate about helping students become capable, curious, and confident communicators—both in and beyond the exam room.

This is a unique role that blends rigorous exam preparation with Waldorf-inspired teaching . You’ll be preparing students for the full IGCSE English as a Second Language (ESL) exam—reading, writing, listening, and speaking—while also using storytelling, nature-based experiences, and student-led learning to bring English alive.

We welcome both full-time and part-time applicants.

You don’t need experience with holistic Waldorf education—just a passion for teaching and an open mind . Here, you’ll have the freedom to move beyond rote learning, using creative writing, drama and real-world experiences to make English lived. Training & peer support provided.

• Balance Exams with Exploration – Prepare students for IGCSE success, while allowing for expression, project-based work, and real-world application
• Incorporate Waldorf-Inspired Methods - Use storytelling, nature, seasonal rhythms, and hands-on activities to make English meaningful and memorable.
• Work in Small Classes – With 10-15 students per class, you’ll have the space to personalise learning and build strong student relationships.
• Build Strong Foundations – Identify and support language gaps, especially for learners who are new to English or lack confidence.
• Collaborate Across Subjects – Collaborate with other subject teachers to design cross-curricular projects that deepen understanding and student agency.
• Foster Independent Learners – Encourage critical thinking, self-expression, and ownership of learning as students prepare for post-secondary pathways.
• Be Part of a Thriving School Community – Join a supportive, engaged team where teachers, students, and parents learn and grow together.

• A qualified English or ESL teacher with a strong grasp of the Cambridge IGCSE ESL curriculum.
• 2+ years of Cambridge IGCSE ESL teaching experience , including exam preparation.
• Someone who sees language as more than an exam—it’s a way to connect, express, and explore the world.
• A clear and engaging communicator who can inspire both native and EAL learners.
• Someone who balances structure and flexibility —committed to student outcomes but open to creative, student-centered approaches.
• A team player and community-minded educator who thrives in a collaborative school environment.

• Bachelor’s degree in English, Education, or related field
• Recognised teaching qualification (e.g., PGCE, B.Ed.)
• Experience with project-based or interdisciplinary teaching
• Experience in a Waldorf, nature-based, or alternative education setting (a plus!)

TongXin Waldorf School is a warm, community-driven learning space where both teachers and students are invited to grow. You’ll be part of a team that values reflection, creativity, and connection—and be given the freedom to teach in ways that spark genuine learning.
